Sissy,
I wish I could be there. And tomorrow, during your service, I'll be here in Jacksonville saying my own goodbyes.
I've been spending alot of time looking throught Mom's pictures and remembering the happier times...
-You and Sue taking me with you to the King of Pizza in Taunton and laughing at all the stupid things your little sister said.
-Splashing you as often as I could at Chappaquoit.
-You me and Mom playing scrabble. I still think it strange that Mom always seemed to win.
-Screaming at the TV and jumping with joy as "Pudge" hit that amazing home run. We didn't win the series, but it was awesome.
-All the Thanksgivings and Christmases we all shared as a family watching Colin, Carolyn, Scott, Kelly, Peter, Sean and Jen grow up.
-And enjoying everyday we got to spend with TJ as he was born and grew up.
Up until 13 years ago, we spent most of our lives together. There were bad times, there always are. But I'm determined to only remember the good ones.
I'll miss you Sissy!
Love, Lindy Lou

Our families have been entwined for so many years through church, community and business thus providing many memories. I wished that I lived closer in order to personally express my sympathy upon your Mother and sister's death. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during these days.
